Transfering ownership of pseud

Success 🍾 🎉
@btrappe Everything is taken care of by github.
Thank you very much

@ticosax You might want to contact Cortado directly. I'm not sure if anyone of them is reading Github notifications. I will send you contact details via email.

Hi, no problem. Unfortunately I get an error message from Github: "ticosax/pseud already exists and You can only transfer a repository from an organization to yourself at this time!". While I have an idea how you could solve the first issue, I haven't any idea how to solve the second part. Do you have any ideas ?

Hi @btrappe , thank you for coming back to my request.
It seems github doesn't allow to transfer a repo from an organization to an third party user account. But it allows transfer from an organization to your personal account, and from one personal account to another personal account. Connecting the dots, I believe in two steps it should work:

• transfer to your personal account
• then transfer to mine

Let me know how it goes.
We will get it sorted out I believe.

@ticosax You will also probably have to delete your fork as the repo name will clash with ticosax/pseud when it gets transferred.

@marianzange thank you for the reminder. I renamed it, so the namespace is available now.

Hi, moved it into my space, but can’t transfer it to you: ticosax already has a repository in the btrappe/pseud network Your repo seems to be a clone. Are there any disadvantages if I simply delete (or make private) “our” copy of this repo ?

[ticosax]

Yes it matters we transfer it correctly, so github can perform redirects automatically. issues and PR will also be transfered.
@btrappe I renamed ticosax/pseud into ticosax/pseud-fork,
Please can you try one more time ?
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[ticosax]

I just deleted my fork. To be sure nothing will remain in our way.

[btrappe]

It seems the transfer request was successful :-) Do I have to do anything to get the redirects working or is it automatically managed by GitHub?
